BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 - 312: Old and New Scores
Everyone’s expressions changed except for Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian.
The Xie family was also a wealthy family in the capital. When Xie Shi’an returned to the Xie family last year, almost everyone knew about the wedding that had shocked the entire country.
But surprisingly, even the media, which was the best at gossip, could not find out the bride’s background. Her identity and background were completely unknown.
However, there seemed to be a small accident during the wedding. After that, the Ruan family got into trouble, and Xie Shi’an never showed his face in front of anyone again. No one outside knew how Xie Shi’an and his wife were doing.
Therefore, when Li Zhongjin said these words, everyone was shocked.
“Zhongjin, do you know what nonsense you’re talking about?”
Zhen Yiping’s expression was very stern. “Hanyu and Qianqian were already husband and wife since last year!”
“But that didn’t stop her from running to the capital and marrying Xie Shi’an.”
Li Zhongjin looked at Sang Qianqian from the corner of his eyes and smiled frivolously. “I’m not talking nonsense. I even have evidence.”
He turned around and snapped his fingers. Immediately, someone came in with a thick file and placed it on the coffee table respectfully.
Li Zhongjin leaned over and pushed the folder in front of Zhen Yiping. “Uncle, take a look at these documents. You’ll know if I’m lying after you’re done.”
Zhen Yiping didn’t take it. “I believe in Hanyu’s judgment. He wouldn’t choose the wrong person,” he said lightly.
“But what if Cousin gets cheated on by this woman?”
Li Zhongjin simply took the file and opened it, throwing all the photos inside on the table. The first photo was Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian’s wedding photo.
The bride’s face was covered with a thin veil, and she was half-furrowed in shyness as she leaned into Xie Shi’an’s arms.
If the people present did not know Sang Qianqian, they would only think that this woman was extremely beautiful. But at this moment, Sang Qianqian was sitting right in front of them. Upon closer inspection, everyone gasped in shock.
Her eyes and brows were indeed exactly the same as Sang Qianqian’s!
Zhen Yiping finally understood why he felt that Sang Qianqian looked familiar the first time he saw her.
Back then, the Xie family had also sent him a wedding invitation. Although he didn’t go, because of his identity as the new heir of the Xie family, he had seen a few more news articles about Xie Shi’an. Thus, he remembered Xie Shi’an’s appearance and also had some impression of the bride’s features.
So, it wasn’t that he had remembered wrongly. He had really seen Sang Qianqian in that wedding photo.
Zhen Yiping furrowed his brows. The people he had sent to Ming City to check on Sang Qianqian’s information did not report this at all!
He picked up a stack of photos and scanned through them. They were photos of Sang Qianqian’s interactions with Xie Shi’an after she came to the capital.
Some were them talking in the hospital, some were walking in the snow, talking and laughing. In a small courtyard, Sang Qianqian leaned over to water the flowers, and Xie Shi’an was watching her with a smile. They seemed to be very intimate.
People who didn’t know the truth would really think they were lovers or husband and wife.
“Miss Sang, what’s going on?”
Old Lady Zhen’s face darkened, and she even changed the way she addressed Sang Qianqian. Moreover, her tone was distant and cold. “Is the person in this photo really you?”
Sang Qianqian took a deep breath. Many of these photos seemed to have been taken from surveillance cameras.
However, with Ruan Cheng’s death, it was impossible for these surveillance videos to still exist. Xie Shi’an had no reason to keep them.
She pursed her lips. “The person in that photo is indeed me.”
“Then, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”
Old Lady Zhen didn’t expect her to admit it so quickly. Her eyes were filled with anger, and her words were impolite, “How did you manage to deceive everyone and marry Xie Shi’an? How did you manage to make Hanyu fall in love with you and take you as his wife?”
“This is a long story.”
Without waiting for Sang Qianqian to speak, Shen Hanyu said calmly, “Let me explain the whole story.”
He told them everything, from the shooting at the wedding to Sang Qianqian coming to the capital with him, to how Sang Qianqian thought he had passed away and was forced to marry Xie Shi an, and how she did not hesitate to die with Ruan Cheng for him.
The expressions on everyone’s faces were as if they had been struck by lightning. They were dumbfounded and sighed.
Old Lady Zhen’s brows furrowed even more tightly as her heart ached. “So many things have happened. Why didn’t you tell us?”
The old lady had seen the news of Shen Hanyu’s explosion in the capital, but she didn’t know that it was her own grandson.
Later, when they met again, she asked Shen Hanyu what had happened, but he didn’t want to talk about it. He only said that the disputes had been resolved and that the media reports were mostly untrue. Ultimately, the old lady believed it and didn’t pay more attention to it.
Who knew that there would be such a thrilling past in between?
“Those things are in the past, so there’s no point in talking about them.”
Shen Hanyu said lightly, “But since you took the initiative to bring these photos here, I’ll say a few more words.”
He glanced at Li Zhongjin with an extremely cold gaze and said word by word, “Not to mention that the wedding wasn’t even valid, even if she really married Xie Shi’an, so what? If 1 say Qianqian is my wife, then she is my wife.”
Shen Hanyu’s gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing Li Zhongjin’s face.
He forced an awkward smile. “I did this for Cousin’s own good. I was afraid Cousin would get deceived.”
“You should worry about yourself. Next time, use your brain more. Don’t be used by others so easily.
Shen Hanyu said coldly, “Who gave you these photos?”
Li Zhongjin did not expect that his good intentions would turn into such a big mistake. His face stiffened. “I really don’t know about this. Someone sent it directly to my company. That person even gave me a call and said he had some information about you. Afterward, he didn’t say much else.”
Shen Hanyu’s face was expressionless. “Give me your phone.”
Li Zhongjin quickly looked for the number. “That person must have used a voice changer, because his voice didn’t sound normal. However, it was a man’s voice.”
Without a word, Shen Hanyu dialed the number.
Unfortunately, the number on the other end was already empty.
Li Zhongjin’s face turned even uglier. “Damn it, this person deliberately used me to stir up trouble. Was I fooled completely?”
“Why did that person send the documents to you?”
Zhen Yishu was confused and uneasy. “Think about it carefully. Is it someone you know?”
“Mom, don’t add fire to the fuel. 1 know people, but I don’t know if it comes to my cousin and cousin-in-law. Who would be so free to meddle in our family’s affairs?”
Li Zhongjin rolled his eyes. “In my opinion, this must be done by someone who can’t bear to see Cousin-in-law and Cousin get back together. Who knows, it might be Xie Shi’an behind the scenes. Otherwise, who could have gotten so many photos of Cousin-in-law and Xie Shi’an?”
“I heard that Ruan Cheng played a huge role in Xie Shi’an’s return to the Xie family. They had a close relationship.”
A stern look flashed across Zhen Yiping’s eyes. “If Xie Shi’an really did this, then that’s good. We can just settle the old and new scores altogether..”
